<p>So I'm a rising Junior, and over the summer, my future AP Lang teacher suggested that we write essays to keep our writing skills sharp. I figured I'd kill 2 birds with 1 stone by writing the Common App essays, so I can get used to writing within the word limit. So my question is, do common app essays change year to year? Like, is there a chance that I could use the ones that I'm writing now for when I apply to college in the 2015-2016 school year? Thanks!</p>
<p>It does not change this year from last year, but it did change last year. Anyway, if your main purpose is to practice, it does not matter to you. After all, these essay topics are kind of popular. If it is not on CommonApp, you may need to write similar essay for another school.</p>
